"Mah ...."
"Yes, son." replied Gana as Adela in her eyes kept repeating, calling her name.
Now, the boy was already half asleep in Gana's arms in bed. Accompany him to sleep, stroking and occasionally chanting Adela's favorite songs.
When Ammar and his three brothers wanted to get closer, Adela shook her head unwillingly. Seeing that, made Gana enter her husband and four other children, to eat first. They are not allowed to interfere with his current relationship with Mahika. Making Ammar, Taya, Rora and Aidan finally pass with a sad look.
As Mama. Women who conceive, give birth and raise. Gana seemed to know what her son was feeling, even though the curl did not tell her anything, about his mood now.
"Mah ...." Mahika kept calling Gana. He was afraid to stay.
"Mama's here, son. Same with you."
"Well, tanan pelgi, yes .. in tinih ajah cama akuh!" pinta Mahika with a raucous voice. He crumpled the negligee cloth in Gana's stomach. So strong.
Gana kissed her son's cheek, tethering his embrace. "Yes, Honey. Mama's here with Adel."
"Well, um play, yeah, Mah." Adel repeated.
"Yes, son."
Once in his heart began to be relieved. Adela really started flying into dreamland. Breathing out of his mouth. Sometimes Gana tries to close her lips that look gaping.
Gana pensive. He seemed to have just realized, if he as Mama still could not fully give full affection to his five children and one big baby who did not want to lose, Ammar.
"Some will be disappointed. Feeling less affectionate and feeling unnoticed. The risk of having many children and the age is not too far. O Allah ..." sighed Gana in silence. Seeing Adela like this, he knew his son felt less noticed.
Not that he refused the line of life that God gave, he was happy to have many children. Children are a gift, where not all married couples can be as happy as themselves and Ammar. It's just, Gana feels not maxed out.
For the sake of family, he was willing to devote himself only at home. Taking care of the child and husband. He left his position as director of the company. Do not get together with friends, sometimes he forgot to take a shower because it was too busy taking care of children. In this house there is art. But it still feels less.
Just wanted to close the eyes, because it's been an hour waiting for Adela. Gana reopened quickly, while a palm appeared hugging her stomach from behind.
"Absite ...."
"Hem."
Ammar lay holding him and Adela.
"Abang done eating? What are the kids again?"
"Already, Deck. The kids are watching Tivi while taking care of Alda."
"Adel did not tell you that story? Why hide under the bed?" Ammar believes, one hour Gana has accompanied Adel here, the boy must have told a lot of stories.
Gana shook her head and Ammar gawked. In fact, his self-conjection was wrong. Gana let out a long sigh, turning her back to her husband, she said again.
"I feel, as Mama seems to lack the maximum of giving my attention to children. Especially to Adel. Since Alda was a kid, my focus was always on him." Gana's starting to be honest. "Looking at Alda's growth that was somewhat different from the others, made me always think badly and pay extra attention to it."
Ammar. He still respects what his wife wants to do now. Because my wife needs to be listened to.
"It's been a week. Adel asked me to accompany him to play during the day. But I know that this week Alda is always fussy every night. Makes us both stay up.
So during the day, I used to sleep, because Alda would also sleep. And then I had to hurry to cook. As well as his night, must accompany his brothers to study. Now I realize that Adel is lonely. She's jealous." Gana shed tears. He rubbed Adel's head which was still holding her.
Ammar's eyes were red. Chest vibrates. He also feels guilty.
"Bah, play, yuk."
"Attep, yeah, kid. Papa's bothered 'nih."
Ammar is pictured as Adela brings a toy to her study. At that time Ammar was still focused on staring at the laptop. Along with Gana is accompanying the triple A study. Adela came out of the room with a sad look.
"This child is not as strong as his brothers" said Gana sobbing while stroking Adel's head. Ammar nodded, acknowledging his wife's complaint.
"Not to mention next week, Brother, Aidan, Taya is going to the school exam. I should definitely focus on watching them study, Bang."
Ammar took a long breath. Massaging the base of his forehead because he was dizzy thinking about this matter. In the office there is a lot of work. Many tenders that he has won with great difficulty. Just go home always night. He will not be able to accompany his son to play or study. And during the holidays, he chose with pets and games.
Seeing Adel like this, he felt slapped. Not being a parent. He promised to cut his job faster. To be able to take her children on vacation after school exams.
"Give understanding to Adel who has not understood, as well as nailing on a wood that is already fragile. Adel still will not be able to accept. All he knows is that you and I don't love him anymore, just his brothers. Because we're both still busy for now."
"Then what, Bang? Kasian our son. His mind is disturbed."
"Don't, Bang!" gana's Selak.
"Why?"
"Kasian Kak Maura's. It's sick, right. Adel is agile. Want to keep playing. Disturb it later."
Maura was discharged in post-dengue treatment. The woman still needs enough bedrest. The five children were already big will not be possible to play with dolls with the adel.

"What's my son, Dek? Adel's been eating yet?" ask Gana on the phone.
Gana is currently sitting on the floor with her four children on the carpet of the television room. Accompanied by Taya, Rora and Aidan are studying for a four-day test.
"Again, brother. Same Queen. Already ate 'kok." replied Gelfani across there.
With a heavy heart, Adela was held there for up to a week. Gelfa has a small child even though she is one year older than Adela. And can be invited to play. Even for Adela, the Queen is very pleasant to appeal to her brothers at home.
"I want to talk to Adel, Dek."
Gelfa called Adel. But the one called did not come near. Still laughing with the Queen on the second floor.
"Stay, yes, brother. I'll approach first."
"Yes." Yeah."
He waited until he heard the voice of his son whom he had longed for. Simultaneously, Ammar just arrived home after work. He approached his wife and children who were studying. Triple A got up to kiss the back of Ammar's hand. Still dressed at work, Ammar throws his butt next to Gana.
"Where was the test? Difficult not?" ammar asked alternately to triple A. And they take turns answering easily.
"Will I eat?" gana asked with the phone still stuck in the air.
"Later on. Who are you calling again?" tanyanya while grabbing Alda from Gana's lap. He grabbed Alda and kissed him to relieve his fatigue.
"On the phone with Gelfa, I'd like to talk to Adel. From noon the child was very difficult to call. Don't want to say it." Ammar looks at his wife's teary eyes.
Ammar. He was also the same, this afternoon when he called Gelfa because he wanted to talk to Adela. The curly also refused, saying he was playing.
Ammar stroked his wife's shoulder while strengthening. Same with triple A. They looked at Gana. They miss their sister too. Adel is noisy. Talk a lot, chatty and a lot of questions sometimes make them lazy to answer.
But, now? The house is empty without it. Taya, Rora and Aidan miss Adela. Likewise with Alda, sometimes he screams calling the name Adela even though the name is not clear. As if you know, the curly child who always bothers him during sleep, is not there. It's so sad it turns out.
"The adek 'nih Mama wants to talk." all can hear when Gelfa's steps have arrived before Adela and the Queen. Mobile phone on loud speaker, so that Ammar and triple A can also talk with Mahika Nadela.
"Nanih aja 'ah. I'm lebih main ...."
Here all sighed sadly as Adela refused. Unlike Adela at this time, the curly child was laughing, there was also the sound of Fadil and the King playing with Adel and the Queen.
"Say, Deck. Mama and Papa would talk." Gana forced her sister.
"We too, Mah. Want to talk to Adek." connect triple A.
Gelfa also agreed. He tried again to force Adela to want to first receive a call from Mama.
"Sir, this is Mama, Papa and Kakun want to ngmong with you. Play it later." Gelfa said. He put the phone back in Adela's ear. And the boy refused again.
"Nanih ajah 'an ante! I don't want to." Adela is still busy arranging Barbie houses with the Queen.
DEG.
Again Gana and Ammar flinched. His own son did not want to talk to them at all. Adela's already stuck in there. It's like he got what he didn't find in this house.
Hicks ... Hixes.
Gana's sobs broke. When the phone call ended. Adela still does not want to talk even though Gelfa has forced.
"Mah ...." Alda was crying in Ammar's arms when he saw his mother crying. All she knew was that her mother was sad.
"Tomorrow we'll go there, we'll go get Adel." Ammar. He held Gana and Alda who were both still crying. Taya, Rora and Aidan are the same. Thinking of Adela there, they didn't want to learn. Closing the book and inching closer to Gana.
"Patience, yes, Mah. We are also missing, Adek." said Rora representing. Until here triple A understand, if Adela felt excluded all this time from the family. And as if forgetting the family, when getting the happiness he wants.
